Still, I'm kind of bummed.
Obama was in the unique position of being a sitting President that - assuming he gets re-elected, which is statistically likely - would actually be in office for the whole process, from selection to hosting. And for his own hometown, no less! I love Chicago, and I wanted us to win. But I'm sure everyone in Rio is happy. I think they might have wanted it more than we did.
Now my Chicago '16 logo is worthless.
